Upgrading The Hard Disk Drive - Lenovo IdeaPad S10e 4187 User Manual

Upgrading the hard disk drive

Important:
See Chapter 7, "Safety, use, and care information," on page 83 before replacing the hard disk
drive.
You can replace the hard disk drive (HDD) with a new one by following the
procedure below. You can purchase a new HDD from your reseller or Lenovo
marketing representative.
Note:
Replace the HDD only if you are upgrading it or having it repaired. The connectors
and slot of these drives were not designed for frequent changes, or drive swapping.
Attention:
Handling an HDD
v Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Place the drive on a soft material, such
as cloth, which absorbs physical shock.
v Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
v Do not touch the connector.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and permanent loss of data on
the drive. Before removing the HDD, make a backup copy of all the data on the drive, and turn
the computer off. Never remove the drive while the system is operating, in standby mode, or in
hibernation mode.
